Antivirus Rescue CD's - Scan Speed Tests

This Test of Antivirus Rescue Disks was only to determine relative speed of scan and relative time for Malware Signature updates. Default Scan Settings were used with the exception of deselecting from the scan my non-System hard drive partition. The Panda Safe CD was changed from "Scan and Disinfect" to "Scan". Only the System Partition was scanned. I deleted all but the most recent Windows XP Restore Point and Sun Java Cache to cut down on scan time.

AVG Rescue CD:
Update: 1 minute (I had to go into Network Settings and select the other motherboard NIC for the update to work.)
Scan: 15 minutes – Failed to complete. (The scan appeared to have failed on both of two attempts. An error was reported with no details of the error and the scan stopped at ~15 minutes. It seems to be “buggy”.)

AVIRA Rescue CD:
Update: (Failed to update: But on other PC’s it took ~< 3 minutes)(I was using the second NIC of a dual NIC Motherboard.)
Scan: 25 minutes
